CPE II Adult Instructions

Pdf Summary

The Clinical Practice Evaluation II (CPE II) is a comprehensive tool used to assess the integration of prevention practices in clinical systems. It complements CPE I, which reviews patient medical records. The evaluation is mandatory for diplomates and is divided into several sections to cover different aspects of clinical systems.<br /><br /><strong>Sections and Instructions:</strong><br /><br />1. <strong>Information Management:</strong><br />   - Determine if an Electronic Medical Record (EMR) system is used.<br />   - Assess various elements of the EMR such as template usage for updating risk factors, documentation, and preventive services. Responses are categorized as operating well, existent but not fully operational, or not available.<br /><br />2. <strong>Patient Activation:</strong><br />   - Review the provision of written information to patients, behavior change practices, counseling services (tobacco, nutrition, physical activity), self-care skills teaching, and support services. Responses range from consistently, inconsistently, or rarely provided.<br /><br />3. <strong>Access and Communication with Patients:</strong><br />   - Evaluate systems for appointment scheduling and communication support between patients and providers, with similar response categories to indicate performance.<br /><br />4. <strong>Safety and Efficacy:</strong><br />   - Assess protocols to reduce medication errors, diagnostic errors, delays in care, and efficiency. This section gauges how consistently these safety measures are applied.<br /><br />5. <strong>Consultation and Referral:</strong><br />   - Verify the size and type of practice.<br />   - Assess referral practices to consultants and conversely, the provision of consultative services by the practice.<br /><br />6. <strong>The Practice Team:</strong><br />   - Review the composition and functionality of the practice team.<br /><br />7. <strong>Improvement Process:</strong><br />   - Describe methods for practice improvement, with responses indicating the consistency of these practices.<br /><br />Completed evaluations, along with supporting documents, should be retained and sent to the American College of Preventive Medicine, concluding the Diplomate Practice Assessment Plan (DPAP) cycle. This thorough assessment aims to ensure high standards in preventive medical practices within various clinical systems.
